Chapter 10

A sharp, metallic scent of rust mingled with the coppery tang of blood, slowly spreading across the polished floor. Soon enough, a vivid crimson blotch stained the once-pristine tiles, stark and undeniable.

“My baby… please… save my baby…” Milena’s voice trembled with desperation, her pleas hanging in the air like a fragile thread of hope.

The police acted swiftly, rushing Milena to the hospital with urgency, but despite their efforts, the baby could not be saved. The tragedy was irreversible. Not long after, Milena was taken into custody, facing charges of intentional murder.

Javier’s grip tightened on my wrist, his eyes wild with desperation as he tried once more to justify what had happened. “I told my men to use small poodles. Poodles are tiny, harmless creatures. I swear, it’s all my fault. I never wanted to hurt you,” he pleaded, his voice cracking under the weight of guilt.

I yanked my hand away from his grasp, my tone icy and distant. “But you knew, Javier. You knew I’ve always been terrified of dogs, even the smallest ones.”

He looked at me, anguish etched deep into his face. “Saina, whatever I say now won’t change anything. But please believe me—I never meant for any of this to happen.”

I shook my head, resolute. “From this moment forward, we are done. We walk separate paths.”

That was the last time I saw Javier.

Despite the distance I put between us, he relentlessly tried to find ways to reach me. But I was careful, always staying one step ahead, ensuring he could never track me down. I refused to let him back into my life.

After the New Year, the court sentenced Milena Sanders to death.

And with that dark chapter closed, I finally began to rebuild my life.

I found solace and new beginnings with Zayne Prescott, the calm and steady heir of the influential Prescott family—a family that had long been close allies of the Lamonts. Zayne’s composed nature complemented my own, and we shared a deep understanding and similar values that made our bond strong and genuine.

Before long, the Lamont and Prescott families announced our engagement publicly, sharing the joyous news online.

Messages of congratulations flooded in from all corners, filling me with warmth and hope.

Among the well-wishers, some couldn’t resist teasing Zayne in the comments: [Men who cheat lose everything. Look at Javier, lol. Zayne, you better treat Saina right, or you’ll end up broke too.]

Zayne responded with a playful grin, typing back: [With all of you watching, even if I wanted to misbehave, I wouldn’t dare.]

On the day of our engagement celebration, Javier appeared outside the venue, wild-eyed and desperate. Security guards barred his entry at the gate, refusing to let him inside.

He no longer cared about his pride. Tears streamed down his face as he shouted toward the church, his voice raw with anguish, “Saina, please, don’t get engaged!”

“I can’t live without you! Just imagining you with someone else makes me want to disappear!”

To ensure he couldn’t miss it, I had arranged for a massive screen outside the venue, displaying images of Zayne and me smiling, sharing our engagement kiss in full view.

When Javier caught sight of that moment—the happiness on my face, the warmth in our embrace—something inside him shattered completely.

He pounded his chest repeatedly, as if physical pain might dull the agony tearing through his heart. Unable to endure the torment any longer, he dashed into the street.

Bang!

A speeding car struck him, and the impact left him paralyzed from the waist down. From that day forward, he would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

He begged me, pleaded for just one meeting.

But I never went.

I was too busy moving forward, building a future with Zayne by my side.
